Evaluating web survey software
December 11th, 2007 – by Yong Zhang

Nathan Swatrentruber, Annette Lolchoki, and Paul Rutt did a nice little project in my software engineering class this semester. They worked on finding a solution to improve or replace the current EMU web survey software. According to EMU institutional research, the current software lacks many functionality and survey management features.
The group set up a private wiki page to collaborate. After studying and comparing a dozen popular commercial web survey software, the group concluded that it would be better to adopt one of the commercial software than improving what EMU is using. In their final presentation, available online in Google Docs format, they made their recommendations for several price ranges.
